Wed, 22 May 2013 20:32:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2132498#comment-2551595Why wouldn’t the Easter event have to schedule around the Draft?? Seems to be way more of a “holiday” event anyways. The excuse is that this Easter event would coincide with the draft, but as far as I can see, the draft this year was April 25-28. Easter Sunday obviously changes every year, but the latest it will be in the calendar year is April 21 (in 2019) for the next eight years… I don’t see how this presents a conflict, although I assume unknowingly that the Easter event will be held on Easter Sunday. Who knows, maybe its a month-long event. Either way, Why?

@the magician funny I thought it was definitely called for. Matter of fact they should move the draft to Minny so nothing but fat blondes can show up.

Looks like somebody is a little nervous about how their favorite team is going to do against the Vikings this year.

Or…just give each NFL city their chance at hosting the event like the NBA all-star game.

What’s wrong with Javits center

They can’t have it in garden or Barclays due to postseason games maybe

Why not have the draft online let the fans vote to pick since roger wanna make it fan friendly lol

Wed, 22 May 2013 03:11:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2132498#comment-2549723This is crap. Move it to another venue or move it to the week before Easter week. It needs to be earlier not later. It’s a big gap after the superbowl stuck inside for the winter. May sucks. I’ll be outside instead and will have to tape it.

Every NFL city but New York gets a chance to host ( give NY’s slot to Vegas) until everybody has had a turn.

radio city is a good venue just there rules are bad no backpacks or laptops allowed or bringing memorbilia too get signed thats da only problem i had dem,
if u need a bigger venue use BARCLAYS CENTER or metlife or even yankees stadium or in NJ Prudential Center
there are options folks

Wed, 22 May 2013 02:26:20 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2132498#comment-2549586Let’s see how Roger is earning the big bucks this year (so far).

First major league baseball stares him down and forces a Super Bowl winner to go on the road for the season opener.

Then apparently 5 or 6 Rockettes threatened to beat him up because he couldn’t get the weekend reserved for the draft (the same weekend and venue since he’s been commisioner).

Looking forward:

The Hall of Fame game has been moved to a Tuesday at 3:00 PM because Cub Scout Pack 53 has reserved Canton stadium for a knot tieing demonstration and sleepover.

Budweiser, Miller, and Coors beer will no longer be served in NFL stadiums. Goodell through grueling negotiation has secured a 10 year contract with Zima.

Radio City is a spectacular theater if you’re watching a concert or ogling Rockettes. For Football fans, not so much. I actually enjoyed the one year at the Javitz Center…most fan-friendly event.

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:48:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2132498#comment-2549395Roger is a creep.

How hard is it say we are moving the draft to May of 2014 in attempt to have better coverage leading up to the draft. If it doesn’t work out we will move it back to April in 2015.

People would at-least respect that instead of pretending the venue is booked and replacing on those dates is somehow impossible

Eagles owner Jeff Lurie tried like @&!$ to get the draft held in Philly a few years ago and make it it’s new home.

Venue is not the issue.

Wed, 22 May 2013 00:31:21 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2132498#comment-2549366I really think the NFL should move the Draft every year so all 32 fan bases can experience the draft in their town. I think it is crap that NY host the draft every year. If they moved the draft around like the SB, it will help bring revenue to local businesses and fans would get a experience of a life time. Just a thought!
